(Digital) Poster proposals

Deadline: Monday, May 17

All selected posters will be displayed in a dedicated area on the TNC21 online event platform and TNC21 website, with a description, names of the authors and contact details (email address).

The poster should summarise your work with graphs and images and tell a story, text should be used sparingly. Featuring a poster at TNC will be an excellent advertisement for your work and can act as a great conversation starter with TNC participants.

Poster proposals may include future work that is expected to produce results in the first half of 2021. Abstracts should clearly indicate what work has already been done and what still has to take place.

Applications should provide the following information:

• Title of the poster
• Name, affiliation, and contact information of the submitting author
• Names, affiliations, and contact information of any additional authors
• An abstract (max. 1 pages of A4) describing the content of the poster
• A draft poster may also be submitted to support the abstract, but is not mandatory

Format

Please note that if you cannot meet the following requirements, we will not be able to accept your poster.

• PDF, Power Point Presentation or PNG
• The poster will be presented in a landscape/horizontal layout format

Accepted posters must be submitted in the correct digital format on Monday 7 June. The organisers will make sure the poster is displayed and linked correctly, on the TNC21 online event platform and TNC21 website.

The following information will need to appear next to the poster on the TNC21 website:

• Name, affiliation, and contact information of the submitting author
• Names, affiliations, and contact information of any additional authors
• Email addresses

BoF (Bird of a Feather) proposals

Duration: 90 minutes | Deadline: Tuesday, February 23

For TNC21 we will host a limited number of online slots for 90-min meetings (BoFs). The bigger side meetings that usually take place during TNC will be selected beforehand and the organisers of these meetings will be notified by us.

Good to know:

• We are yet to define the dates and times of the BoFs, due to the fact we will decide on the final format of TNC21 in February.
• All requests for a BoF will be handled as a 90-minute meeting.
• The accepted BoFs will be published on the TNC21 website and programme.

The following criteria for evaluation will also be applied:

• Submission for an interactive meeting and not a presentation for the main programme.
• Submission with a clearly identified audience that will be attending TNC21.
• Submission complete and including all the requested information.
